2 Samuel 14:21-24

21Then the king said to Joab, “Behold now, 1I will surely do this thing; go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom.” 22Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in that the king has performed the 2request of his servant.” 23So Joab arose and went to 3Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 24However the king said, “Let him turn to 4his own house, and let him not see my face.” So Absalom turned to his own house and did not see the king’s face.
